We have them here in Monterey also. I remember my mom telling me that this church we used to go to had bats roosting in this kind of attic space above the altar. I have also seen a few flying around at night. I didnt have a word for bat, but i decided to make one up. I liked the idea of calling them "skin wing" since it makes sense to me. So, my word for bat is: ladontaro. 'Ladon' is the adjective for skin (since skin describes the type of wing:)), and 'taro' is wing.
